The Hornero, also known as an Ovenbird, is a member of the family Furnariidae. It is a rather soft, light-brown bird with a hue of red on its wings.

Horneros inhabit South America. They build nests that resemble old-time ovens. (The Spanish word "hornero" comes from horno, meaning "oven".) The entrance forms a curved doorway to protect the chicks from intense winds and from predators. The nest contains 2 chambers for the 3–4 chicks.

An adult hornero can frequently be seen sitting on top of its nest. When distressed while it is inside, it forces air out with its wings to create a loud cry.
